Another idea is to warn the user that he is in the 25..29th mount after he logs in and offer a read-only, valid check *whenever the user wants but before the 30th mount*. And, if the check proves the disk to need r/w to fix something, to provide an option to schedule the check for the next reboot.
This could be done in a system notification bubble, a la "your system needs a restart to be fully upgraded" with a button for the read-only check and a checkbox for the "schedule r/w check for the next reboot." This way, the video won't suddenly be disrupted because of disk access during an AutoFsck, and also, the user won't have to wait for a full fsck even if he is turning off his laptop in a rush. -- New ext3 partitions should not have max-mount count https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3581 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
